Started another one this week, like I need anymore in the works. Its a Moeibus Flock Hudson that will be used for the 53 Herb Thomas Hornet. I will use the 53 interior and trim pieces from the stock 53 kit, then I can make a stock 52 when I get the time. Anyway, I cut out the skirts and puttied the forward most skirt line since it appeared to be molded incorrectly. Primed with Tamiya White Primer. Then I broke out my airbrush for the first time in year and sprayed the body. I mixed Testors Navy Blue Gray and some Testors Sea Blue and then sprayed tesotrs Lacquer Clear over it and this is what I got. It is alittle more gray in person than the pictures show. Its needs to be wet sanded and polished before I can apply bare-metal foil and the decals.

Bill, Here is a link to one that caine440 built and postedon here for a few more pictures. Very nice build as well http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45941&hl=ramchargers

Can't wait. I need one like a hole in the head but this will be a must have kit.

Heres my daily driver a 2009 Dodge Challenger B5 Blue R/T Classic Edition And here is my model of it. Built from Revell's Challenger before AMT brought out there Classic Edition kit. Here is a replica of my brothers 1972 Nova that I built shortly after REvell released there first Nova kit.

Seen these photos and got to thinking about trying to build a model of this car in honor of Bill Jenkins. Was a huge fan of his. Would anybody have any reference pics of what they are using for the engine in these new COPO Camaro's and any pics of the interior and rear suspension? Dave is to have this at the US Nationals this weekend. This is a nice tribute the "Grump"

Started to get some color on the body today. Found this color in Michael's, its Krylon Bonnet Blue. It's a little to bright I think but. I am going with it. Got a couple of spots that don't look quite right so I need to let it dry and scuff to reshoot some color.

I would like to see a 32 Chevy to go with the 32 Ford. I can only think of the old MPC 32 Chevy Roadster and 33 Chevy Panel so a new tooled 32 Chev would be a welcomed kit by numerous modelers Or heck even any early 30's cars from any manufacturer instead of Fords all the time.

So it looks like they paint the car balck first then put a black wrap on it over the paint even where it is just black, pointless. Give me the old days of Nascar where the cars look like what you could buy off showroom floor and they were painted.

This will be a slow project as I don't get much time ot work on my models anymore with having 2 kids under 2 years of age right now.

After purchasing the dvd of the 1962 Daytona 500 and watching as well as starting to read Smokey Yunick's book, I decided to attempt this car finally. I have been working on the 1962 Plymouth that Richard Petty drove so I thought it only natural to have Fireball Roberts car as well since they were the big players in the 62 500. I have taken the trim off the doors per the pictures and primed, sprayed Testors Lacquer Black, Tamiya Gold and Testors Lacquer Clear. I have started a rollcage (no pics yet) but have not gotten far with it.

History Channel's US Top Gear had an episode on this week with the Big 3 Police cruiser from Ford, Chevy and Dodge. Here's the link. http://www.history.com/shows/top-gear/videos/top-gear-police-cars#top-gear-police-cars

Peter, Did you ever finish this? Would love to see completed pics.

Here is a link on the Modelhaus Tucker. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57837&hl=tucker

Good Ole Handsome Harry. He was a great driver. I remember an interview with him after Nextel took over sponsorship from Winston and all of a sudden everybody became former Nextel Champs but Good Ole Harry still referred to it as Winston Cup Racing. Miss the older drivers. Great job on all.

Is this the car your are referring. It shows on Matt's website that he ran this in 1998. http://www.mattkenseth.com/photos/1998/paint/1998PeterbiltDega.jpg

Making slow progress on the Falcon. Got a coat of primer on and noticed a few areas needing some attention. Got the chassis primered as well. Need to start looking at fabbing up some motor mounts for the straight six power plant.

Been awhile since I updated this project. Been slow going on it with work and a new son being born at the end of July and some other projects. Finally got the body in primer and noticed a few areas that needed blocking. Mocked up the suspension to see about ride height.

Have seen it to be the case with Sprint Cup and Nationwide but have not seen anything about trucks yet. Yeah the 2013 Charger looked great. Don't know how competitive it would have been though. And just as Chevy was going to run the Camaro in the Nationwide series in 2013 against the Mustang and Challenger. Now that would have been great for the muscle car fan but not to be.

Just seen this on You Tube. This sucks.

I think the AMT COT models would have sold a little bit better if they would have tooled up all cars Dodge Ford Chevy and Toyota instead of only releasing the Chevy in how many different liveries. You ca nonly build so many Nascar Chevies before you get bored and want to build another brand

Looks awesome. Love all your builds.

Scott I really enjoy seeing your Petty builds. They have all looked awesome great job.

Looks good. Never thought about doing that car in model before. Is it me or does the scene sound track from McQ following the truck sound like the one chase scene from Bullit?

I got them from decalsbylucas.com

Got the body trimmed out with bare-metal and started placing decasl on it.
